Maternal and Perinatal Outcome in Post Dated Pregnancy - A Prospective Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Post - dated pregnancies, defined as pregnancies extending beyond 40 weeks, are associated with increased maternal and perinatal risks. Understanding the demographic distribution, delivery outcomes, and neonatal health of these pregnancies is crucial for managing potential complications and improving outcomes. Objective: The aim of this prospective observational study was to examine maternal and perinatal outcomes in post - dated pregnancies, focusing on age distribution, parity, mode of delivery, indications for lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), birth weights, APGAR scores, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions. Methods: A total of 44 post - dated pregnant women were recruited for the study, with data collected on their age, parity, mode of delivery, and neonatal outcomes. Demographic details and clinical parameters, including birth weight, APGAR scores at 1 and 5 minutes, and NICU admissions, were analyzed. Statistical associations were assessed using Pearson chi - square tests, with significance determined at a p - value
